Post by: 87fordboy on July 23, 2006, 12:49:39 AM
does anyone know how much motors mounts for a 1987 3.8L Thunderbird would cost? im tired of having a badass sounding exhaust and then hearing a loud scratching noise

Car Quest sells some solid motor mounts for about $50.  The regular ones are about $15 more.

did "someguy" look at it, and actually see what is makin this scratchin' sound, or is he a parts-store "diagnoser"?
What I'd do is safely lift the car, and use a small jack to barely lift the engine, then the tranny, to see if your mounts are bad...
Then if they check out, I'd look into the exhaust rubbing on something, or something on it...
